    Dora has $35 saved. She earns $9.50 per hour at her job. How many hours must she work to have a total of $358 in her savings?

    Subtract the existing savings from the desired savings to see what we have left:
    358 - 35 = 323

    Now, at 9.50 per hour, how many hours of work does she need to get 323?

    Let h be the number of hours. We have:
    9.50h = 323

    Running this problem through our search engine, we get
    h = 34
